Not really. Partly it's that they don't want to send stuff by SMTP where a
glitch could bounce the statement into some random admin's mailbox or a
spam scanner might do who knows what with it. But mostly it's that they
want to train their users to use a web browser with an SSL connection to
look at their bank info.
if you want to believe so... as a lawyer who had to argue around those
timestamps and statements, I am pretty confident that the *main advantage* I
listed outweighs by a few $-digits all the reasons you list, combined.
It probably differs by country. I have talked to a lot of people who do
security for bank computer systems here in the U.S.
I am fairly sure that in the U.S. there is generally no obligation on the
bank to prove that a customer has seen a statement. If you move and don't
give the bank your new address, that's your problem, not the bank's problem.
